Just hours after the Milwaukee Brewers won the World Series, they received the traditional congratulatory message from former President Barack Obama.
The former president congratulated the team on X, formerly Twitter, the morning after their win. This was, of course, the Brewers' first-ever World Series title.
“The best team all season left no doubt. Congrats to the [Brewers] and everyone in Milwaukee on your first World Series title!” his message read.

As Obama pointed out, the Brewers have been dominant all year long. It's not that surprising that they capped off the year by winning the World Series.
They had the best record in the MLB during the regular season, winning 103 games. The Brewers dominated in the playoffs, sweeping their first two opponents—the San Diego Padres and the Los Angeles Dodgers—and beat the Rays in five games in the World Series.
The last two world champions in the major leagues—the New York Knicks and the Brewers—were similarly dominant in the postseason. The Knicks won 13 games in a row after going down 2-1 to the Atlanta Hawks in the first round of the playoffs. Like Milwaukee, New York swept their next two opponents—the Philadelphia 76ers and the Cleveland Cavaliers—on their way to the NBA Finals.

In total, they outscored the Rays 25-12 in the World Series. It was a dominant run, and the “best team,” as Obama noted, won the trophy.
This was the Brewers' second-ever appearance in the World Series. They previously made it in 1982. The team was still in the American League. They moved to the National League after the 1997 MLB season.
